Seriously? Smiling and saying hi is "creepy"? Amazing.
Yeah, running around saying "HOWDY" to everyone can be a bit weird. Everybody aint fromt he midwest and the south. If you do that in the northeast, someone may look at you funny or wonder what you want from them. We're "ONE" country according to the world, but each state and region is like their own little country with diffeent ideas of what acceptable behavior to other humans
And to reiterate, the OP only spoke to this woman b/c he thought she was hot, was hoping she would respond, and later on he could have conversation with her. As stated, she probably quickly sized him up, and realized he was someone she didnt want to know. Yea, a lil rude, but it can get tricky with woman that get an overwhelming amount of attention in life.
The OP is probably thinking "Damm, im not cute enough for a hot woman to respond?", funny
Ok people I don't "run around saying howdy to everyone". If someone makes eye contact I will say hi. And yeah, it's a small town in the west. Not some big east coast city where no one cares about anyone else.
It's a shame when being friendly is considered "creepy". Enjoy your miserable lives.

And you enjoy your fake plastic smile existence out there. Just for the record, the east coast does just fine being honest and not giving a .
I tend to say hi, but don't go much further. With attractive women it's a little different, I assume that they already have a queue of guys lining up to say hi and that they would like a little peace instead.
Everyone always faces forward when riding an elevator, so when you step on and there are others in the elevator just face the rear and say, "Hi everyone, let's all turn and greet each other." That ought to empty the car at the next stop.
I always say hello. If you can't handle it, no problem here.

Lame stereotype you're pushing there; ironically while reinforcing another stereotype of an ignorant, judgmental, self-righteous person from a small town in the west.
Two big east coast cities just went through horrific disasters recently--a bombing in Boston and a huge storm that wiped out entire neighborhoods in NY and its metro area--and if you think people there did not rise up and "care" about anyone else, you're beyond ignorant. I don't know what the word would even be for that.
In a large city where you are literally passing hundreds of people every few minutes, grinning like a dimwit and saying "Howdy howdy howdy" to everyone you see would be a sure way to get people to give you lots of space.
